This book of 159 large pages, contain lots of photographs by Franco Pace, some of them covering two pages. The text is by William Collier, he has a wide
knowledge of Camper & Nicholson and yachting heritage.
Of particular interest to me is the parts of the book on ‘J’ Class yachts, as I understand that one of my Great-grandfathers was a rigger on
‘J’ Class yachts, but I believe anyone with an interest in yachting, Gosport or just wants to see the photographs, will find something in this book. Comments by
